Going West

[-nightwing-.livejournal.com]

Even though there's not much travel time involved in going from Philadelphia to San Francisco these days, Nightwing's still got plenty of opportunity to consider the situation on the west coast. Terra - the first one - wrought untold havoc on the team, most notably on Gar, but her alliance with Deathstroke was a kick to the head none of them could have seen coming. With this new Terra's appearance, and a 'coincidental' appearance of a new teenager wearing Deathstroke's colors, saying he's feeling skeptical of good intentions would be something of an understatement. But that's why they're heading out there, after all - to figure out what the hell's going on.

The three East Coast Titans resolve into being inside the Tower's teleport room.

Unsurprisingly, it is Starfire who speaks first: "A girl calling herself Terra arrived at the Tower the same day as Rose Wilson." She frowns. "Rose was wearing a costume very like her father's. I still do not understand why she would so honor his colors."

Gar smiles up at Flamebird before returning to looking saucy. He does NOT scowl at a new Terra showing up at the tower, he is totally NOT upset about that, no sir not at all. Nope nope nope.

"There's got to be more good earth-power names." Beast Boy says instead of screaming and punching a hole through the table. "'Quake Queen' or 'Miss Mountain' or 'Lady Fissure' or something that isn't freaking Terra."

"Bart was the one who let Rose in. He said she used to babysit Lian." There was a curious, but not at all accusatory look over at Donna.

"Terra, quite literally, popped up out of a hole in the ground."

He frowns. This knowledge doesn't help. He well knows Slade isn't averse to manipulation or to subversive tactics. "'Used to' being the operative words, here. Who's Terra, beyond a name I was kind of hoping we'd never have to hear again?"

Donna leans forward , holding her chin in her hands. She still isn't quite sure what to say in this situation.

"No name on the new Terra, but she apparently isn't a relative of Tara Markov. According to her, she was supposed to share powers with Tara, but things didn't quite work out that way. She also said that she was sent from below to help us, but couldn't say against what.

"She's currently on the move, trying to track down Geo-Force."

He frowns. "She knew who Tara was? Wait, where's she from, exactly? Is she a metahuman of some kind, or what?"

Flamebird looks at Gar at all of this talk about Tara and then again at everyone else at the table.

"She came from 'below,'" Starfire answers, pointing to the ground. "I would guess that she is indeed metahuman, if not another species altogether."

"Well, as long as we're not going on really vague information or anything." Gar says, his smile a little too wide to be sincere. He's good at hiding his emotions under the smartass act, but Flamebird and Cyborg can see right through him most of the time, let alone now.

He sighs, then. "Look, as far as Ravager goes...better with us than against us, right? She wants to do something different than dear ol'dad, and tossing her out isn't going to be a great incentive to keep on the wagon."

"...as for 'Terra'." Beast Boy shrugs, again. "As far as I can tell, she doesn't smoke, so that's a leg up on Markov already."
